Ultraviolet embossed alignment layer for flexible liquid crystal display

Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV) embossed alignment layer for the flexible liquid crystal display (LCD) was fabricated to prevent problems encountered with the thermal treatment of the rubbing process on the plastic substrate. The mechanical stability against bending deformation was achieved by a phase-separated polymer wall. In a bent environment, the UV embossed alignment layer for the flexible LCD provided good liquid crystal properties and mechanical stability. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
